• Rooibos (red tea) as a powerful antioxidant

Hoodia For thousands of years, hoodia gordonii has been a native food of the San Tribesman of the Kalahari Desert, used to suppress appetite during times of reduced food and for long hunts. Now researchers are exploring the potential of hoodia as supplement to reduce appetite to aid in the battle of the bulge.

The active component of hoodia seems to be a molecule called P-57, which acts as glucose, reaching the hypothalamus (region of the brain that controls hunger), stimulating the “turn-off” of appetite.

Beware of internet sites offering Hoodia "pills." Many may not even contain any hoodia gordonii at all! One of the most popular weight support supplements contains only 75 mg of hoodia. Pastore Formulations Hoodia Ultra contains 300mg of hoodia per capsule, standardized as a 20:1 extract!

Caralluma fimbriata It is a member of the Asclepiadaceae family. It has been used for centuries in India as a method of controlling hunger. Tribesmen in India will pack only this succulent when they go on long journeys or on hunts because it suppresses appetite, enhances energy and quenches thirst. It is classified as a vegetable and has been a part of the human diet for centuries.

Researchers at Division of Nutrition, Institute of Population Health and Clinical Research, St John's National Academy of Health Sciences, Bangalore, India tested Caralluma fibriata extract on appetite, food intake and anthropometry in adult Indian men and women. At the conclusion of the two-month trial, caralluma fibriata reduced waist circumference, weight and appetite. Pastore Formulations Hoodia Ultra contains a proprietary standardized blend of caralluma fibriata.

Cordia Ecalyculata One certainly sees less cellulite on Rio's beaches than most American beaches, however, this phenomenon is probably not attributed to just cordia ecalyculata! Whether it is called chá de bugre or porangaba, cordia ecalyculata will probably long be sold as a natural weight loss aid in Rio and throughout Brazil. It acts as an appetite suppressant - but rather than cutting off appetite all together, it seems to provide a sense of being full and satiated after eating only a few bites of food. This seems to promote much smaller meals, more often, which is what many health practitioners believe is better for sustained weight maintenance and keeping the metabolism going throughout the day.

Gymnemic acids Research shows that gymnemic acids from the leaves of Gymnema sylvestre may reduce glucose absorption from the intestine, improve uptake of glucose into cells, and prevent adrenal hormones from stimulating the liver to produce glucose, thereby reducing blood sugar levels.

Blood sugar support prevents “swings” in blood sugar, preventing that mid day crash and desire for something sweet during this vulnerable time. Balancing blood sugar can assist in weight maintenance efforts.

Rooibos The demonstration of decreased free radical generation has important implications for oxidative mechanism underlying obesity-associated disorders (Journal of Obesity (2005) 29, 142–145). Any sensible weight loss program should contain a diet rich in antioxidants. But supporting a healthy diet with an antioxidant rich, safe herbal tea, offers increased protective benefits.

The polyphenol antioxidants identified in rooibos include the monomeric flavonoids aspalathin, nothofagin, quercetin, rutin, isoquercitrin, orientin, isoorientin, luteolin, vitexin, isovitexin, and chrysoeriol. Currently, rooibos is the only known natural source of aspalathin.

Aspalathin is characterized by its ability to reduce the free oxygen radicals in the body. Similar to the known radical scavenger enzyme Superoxiddismutase (SOD), aspalathin is capable of metabolizing aggressive radicals into hydrogen peroxide, which in turn is metabolized to innocuous substances in human tissue by other enzymes. Pastore Formulations Hoodia Ultra contains Rooibos for antioxidant support during a healthy weight loss program of diet and exercise.

Directions: Take 1 capsule of Hoodia Ultra twice daily, 30 minutes to one hour before meals or two to three hours after meals, or as directed by your health care practitioner. Not for use during pregnancy or lactation.
